Hawkins Contracting

We built a retaining wall for a private residence in Aurora and are finishing up today by laying erosion control materials on the hillside. We will be back in the spring to complete work on another area of this project including another retaining wall, more planting and some new interlock. #hawkins #contracting #aurora #ontario #heavyequipment #dirtlife #retainingwalls #construction #work #dailyconstruction

Our crew tackled a job replacing some rotten boardwalk pieces for a job in Richmond Hill. Our team used their quick and creative thinking to work with the existing boardwalk, add in new boards and lay asphalt to deliver another project on time and on budget. We know the city and local residents will enjoy being able to use this pathway once again! @myrichmondhill #hawkins #contracting #richmondhill #construction #nature #boardwalk #work #heavyequipment #dirtlife #parksandrec #newbuild #restoration

We’re working at a private residence in Aurora, building a new retaining wall. This retaining wall marks the entrance to these homes and will be a key design feature for their curb appeal. #hawkins #contracting #construction #ontario #aurora #dirtlife #heavyequipment #deere #kubota #komatsu #heavyequipmentlife #worker #work #dailyconstruction #constructionlife #canada #retainingwalls

On Friday our crew in Oshawa was prepping site for a new bridge installation. We are doing the ground work now and will hoist the bridge into place later this year.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year... it’s time for our annual COR audit! We will be taking the next month to audit our safety program, visit worksites and interview our staff in support of our goal to maintain our COR certification. The COR 2020 program is a roadmap to building upon and improving our current Occupational Health and Safety Management System and a resource for our Hawkins HSE team to achieve success in the WSIBs Health and Safety Excellence Program. @ihsasafetynews @wsibontario #safetyfirst #hawkins #construction #landscape #newbuild #heavyequipment #work #safety #cor #WSIB #IHSA #coraudit #project #teamwork #lovewhatyoudo #ontario #canada #dailyconstruction #constructioncanada #constructionlife #dirtlife #hardscapemafia #hardhat #hardhatlife

Nominations will run all year and at the end of the year we will have a draw for some great prizes for our nominated coworkers! Thank you to all of our staff and thank you those staff who go above and beyond! #hawkins #construction #constructionlife #values #team #awards #coworkers #nominations #landscape #projectmanagement #ontario #dirtlife #hardscape #heavyequipment @ Stouffville, Ontario

A confined space on a job is never a task to be taken lightly. Confined spaces are partially or fully enclosed, may have atmosphereic hazards present and are not designed for constant human occupancy. When we work with confined spaces we require a lot of planning before a worker enters into the space. Our staff go through training that prepares them to safely enter into confined spaces and to perform a rescue in case of an emergency. Our HSE Manager captured this photo from our entry at our Aurora pond job. #construction #constructionlife #work #confinedspace #heavyequipment #dirtlife #safety #safetyfirst #besafe #ontario #yorkregion @townofaurora

We’re lucky we get to do such a broad range of projects, one week we’re highlighting a large park in Toronto and the next we’re building a columbarium for Streetsville Cemetery in Mississauga. We sure do like to keep things interesting. Thanks to our client for trusting us with this project! #hawkins #construction #dirt #build #cemetery #mississauga #ontario #kubota #heavyequipment #heavyequipmentlife #dailyconstruction @ Streetsville, Mississauga
